Vitamin String Quartet
Performs Radiohead’s “In Rainbows”
Vitamin
The Vitamin String Quartet is known for instrumentally altering complete albums from Coldplay to Good Charlotte. In their latest release, the VCQ takes the original composition of Radiohead’s In Rainbows and adds a little twist with some violin, viola and cello, while dropping the lyrics, and creates an incredible reinterpretation of the album. One can’t help but imagine that the group fell into an orchestra pit to shape the beautiful love child that is Vitamin String Quartet. The sound is epically cinematic and great [...]

This Isn’t The 2009 Coachella Line-Up

Posted on 26. Jan, 2009 by Dallas VonKillbot in Idiocy, Internet, Music

A false poster for this year’s Coachella Music and Art’s festival was thrown into the comments of a Stereogum thread this morning, and the creators of the work in question did a great job giving every hipster and hopeful on the planet an instant boner. According to the fake poster, the headliners were The White Stripes, Daft Punk and David Bowie, with additional support from a monster cast of big shots like Mastodon, Muse, Kings of Leon, Sigur Ros, Snow Patrol and others. The planners over at [...]

Radiohead’s “In Rainbows” sales stats: The Gamble Paid Off

Posted on 20. Oct, 2008 by spencer in Internet, Music

Admittedly, I was a little bit  concerned over the state of the music industry when Radiohead released In Rainbows last year as a pay-what-you-want downloadable album, but as it turns out, the stock market took a major tumble while the music industry just quietly gave itself an ulcer, and the Radiohead won on their  gamble.
Here are some cool Radiohead Stats from their Press Agents:
Little more than a year since Radiohead’s October 10, 2007 pay-what-you-like self-release  of its seventh album, In Rainbows, some conclusive statistics were made available at the recent [...]

Radiohead+Lasers=AWESOME

Posted on 14. Jul, 2008 by Dallas VonKillbot in Music

Earlier Alisse posted Beck’s new video. Well, not to be outdone, I’ve decided to putt the infamous In Rainbows card and bring you Radiohead’s newest release ‘House of Cards’. The video was shot with lasers, because apparently you can do that. I’m a firm believer that Thom Yorke has invented all viral marketing campaigns and all relevant new technology in the last 20 years, but that’s just me.
The video for Radiohead’s “House of Cards,” made without the use of conventional cameras, finally debuted today. Zoo Films, who [...]

Dig Out Your Pockets

Posted on 08. Jul, 2008 by AClapp27 in Blog

 
England “rock” band, Oasis, is in the works of dropping a new FULLY PRICED album, Dig Out Your Soul. Emphasis on the FULLY PRICED part. The band is making it their sole responsibility that no songs leak out on the net for free and that fans are paying for their tracks. Gallagher is attempting to make his money back for all his hard work and dedication to his craft.  He comments on the “honest-box” policy that Radiohead used to sell albums as, “a great way of getting a load of free marketing.”  [...]
